Bar Trigona

Kuala Lumpur

Bar Trigona speaks to its setting within the gilded walls of its host, the Four Seasons Hotel Kuala Lumpur. Head bartender Rohan Matmary, who took the reins from Ashish Sharma in October 2022, has used his tenure to solidify the bar's relationship with the Malaysian farmers that supply the ingredients for its patriotic drinks programme.

Its latest menu, titled Colour Me Curious 2.0, elevates this mission to new heights, with proceeds from every drink going towards the revitalisation of local bee habitats. It follows a lineage of menus that put the country's terroir into its cocktails, such as 2023's Foraged Malaysia, which focused on indigenous and sustainable ingredients, as well as Herb Garden in Your Glass, former winner of the Siete Misterios Best Cocktail Menu Award.

Drinks across the menu pique interest through vibrancy and experimentation, as seen with the Wagyu, made with cognac, all spice vermouth, kulim (jungle garlic) bitters and A5 beef tallow, and the Zen, comprising gin, lychee, sherry and house-pickled ginger. Some of its creations are also available bottled, in either one-, two- or five-person servings. Don't miss the signature Trigona Honey Flight, where guests can experience three classic cocktails infused with the namesake produce at their core.
